I Remember
About
I remember, in my first show in New York, they asked, 'Where is the Indian-ness in your work?'... Now, the same people, after having watched the body of my work, say, 'There is too much Indian philosophy in your work.' They're looking for a superficial skin-level Indian-ness, which I'm not about.
- A. Balasubramaniam
Own
Tastes
I am sure it is one's duty as a teacher to try to show boys that no opinions, no tastes, no emotions are worth much unless they are one's own. I suffered acutely as a boy from the lack of being shown this.
- A. C. Benson
Love
Stories
Human beings love stories because they safely show us beginnings, middles and ends.
- A. S. Byatt
Work
New
With a popular show, you know that there's expectations there, so that's a little nerve-wracking when you're new and you're just trying to find your legs on something, but it's exciting, too, because that's what we work so hard for.
- Aaron Ashmore
Love
Leno
If we're talking fantasy, I would love to host a late night talk show... More Fallon than Leno. Those guys always seem like they're having way too much fun at their 'jobs.'
- Aaron Sanchez
Turn
Some
When 'Men's Health' reached out and said, 'Will you be on the 'Today Show' and do a fitness challenge?' I said, 'OK. I'm not showing them anything they don't already know.' But I'm going to take what some would argue is a negative or not substantive and turn it into a substantive thing to hopefully do some good for people.
- Aaron Schock
Decisions
Made
Decisions are made by those who show up.
- Aaron Sorkin
Happy
Watching
But HBO is less interested in how many people are watching than in how much the people who are watching are liking the show. They didn't set up their business model to make writers happy. It's just a nice unintended consequence.
- Aaron Sorkin
Still
Took
When I was starting out, William Goldman took me under his wing, and he's still the person I show pages to.
- Aaron Sorkin
Work
Going
You can't predict a show, that is the damndest thing, you can't predict if a show is going to work or not until it's on the air.
- Aaron Spelling
Pretending
Screen
The longer I spent time on 'The Daily Show,' standing in front of a green screen pretending to report from war zones and hot spots around the world - most often from somewhere in the Middle East - the more I began to realize that 'The Daily Show' was radicalizing me.
- Aasif Mandvi
Decade
Mistrust
My tenure at 'The Daily Show' started during the decade after September 11, and fear of Muslims was at an all-time high. Politicians and the media seemed to dial the fright, mistrust, and animosity up to a fever pitch to gain votes and ratings.
- Aasif Mandvi
Been
Different Places
I'm free to see things objectively because I don't consider myself American, and I don't consider myself British or Indian. I'm kind of an amalgam or mongrel of a lot of different places and experiences. In a lot of ways it's been a good thing for me. It's enabled me to do what I do on 'The Daily Show.'
- Aasif Mandvi
I See
Been
I always focused on being an actor. I did stand-up briefly, but I also did a lot of dramatic work. But since I've been on 'The Daily Show,' people think I'm a comedian. That's not how I see myself.
- Aasif Mandvi
Hire
Needed
They wanted to audition people for the Middle East correspondent on 'The Daily Show.' They wanted to hire somebody ethnic for that slot. Helms had left, Cordry had left, and they felt that they needed an ethnic face. So, I went in and auditioned, and I got the job.
- Aasif Mandvi
Been
Real Characters
I've been watching 'The Cosby Show' and 'Roseanne' a lot right now, and those work so well because they're not, like, jokey comedies; they are coming from real characters. We want our show to be like that. A family show.
- Abbi Jacobson
Just Because
Mean
Just because I don't show six-pack abs doesn't mean that I don't have them.
- Abhishek Bachchan
Game
Bedside
You can't show up at the bedside and then turn on your skills. You have to keep your game sharp all the time.
- Abraham Verghese
Very
Use
We're now able to show that the words of comfort trigger biological reactions which are the very things that you want, and you can use drugs to get there, or you can use words of comfort to get there, which would make your drugs so much more effective.
- Abraham Verghese
Interest
Mario
'Molto Mario' was the show that sparked my entire interest in cooking.
- Action Bronson
Doing
Express
When you're doing a radio show, you can express yourself.
- Adam Carolla
Success
Business
I didn't have any success in show business until I was 30 to 31 years of age.
- Adam Carolla
Other
Private
If the courts regarded tweets and other social media information as private, it would not prevent the law enforcement from getting information it really needs. But the government would have to get a search warrant, which requires it to show that it has probable cause connecting what is being searched to a crime.
- Adam Cohen
Some
Log
When we get people to log in, they end up using Quora a lot more, and we can provide a lot better experience for them. We can show them a personalized news feed; we can send them digest emails and do all this ranking to find some stuff they want to read.
- Adam D'Angelo
Want
Theater
I want to show that theater isn't just talking about feelings or people wearing tights.
- Adam Driver
Focus
Easiest Thing
It fits my ADD, so that's good. Because I really can't focus on anything for too long. And 'Top Gear's really the easiest thing to do because I'm with my pals. It's like coming home with my friends. We're having so much fun making the show.
- Adam Ferrara
Needed
Another
At 15 I auditioned for 42nd Street in Australia. Dein Perry was in that show. I actually got the job but I couldn't do it because I was only 15. Legally I needed to have another 15-year-old to cover consecutive nights.
- Adam Garcia
Them
About
By admitting your inadequacies, you show that you're self-aware enough to know your areas for improvement - and secure enough to be open about them.
- Adam Grant
Quantum
Seven
I once pitched this show that was just like 'Quantum Leap,' in terms of the set-up, and I got a pass because they said 'Quantum Leap' didn't work, even though it was on for six or seven seasons. You can't say 'Quantum Leap' didn't work!
- Adam Green
Work
Save
God seeks to influence humanity. This is at the heart of the Christmas story. It is the story of light coming into the darkness, of a Savior to show us the way, of light overcoming the darkness, of God's work to save the world.
- Adam Hamilton
Love
Dancers
I would love to do a live show with dancers and fashion and scenic elements - definitely bring my love of the theater to a concert-style performance.
- Adam Lambert
Civilization
Boo
Seriously, 'Honey Boo Boo' is the decay of Western civilization. Just because so many people watch the show doesn't mean it's good.
- Adam Levine
Moment
Had
I guess HBO did a giant 'War in the Pacific' mini-series that cost, like, a fortune, and there was a little moment where they literally had no money. And even though the show had become kind of a cult hit, there was an issue of whether they could actually afford to do it.
- Adam McKay
Bad
Though
For 'Breaking Bad,' people were with Walter White for 99% of that show, even though that guy is a monster.
- Adam McKay
Stupid
Hammered
'The Real World' is the most predictable arc ever. They get on the show, they're all excited, we're gonna be best friends, then people start drinking and get hammered, and say stupid stuff, and that's pretty much it.
- Adam McKay
Go
Biceps
Biceps for show, triceps for go.
- Adam Peaty
Channel
Had
The Travel Channel had success with their 'Food Paradise' series, '10 Best Places to Pig Out' and those types of specials, so they knew there was a market for comfort food and wanted to develop a show around it.
- Adam Richman
Head
Get
When I'm up there, and I know the show's coming to a close, in my head I'm saying to myself, Oh man, you gotta get off and be a normal person again. That's what I don't like so much.
- Adam Sandler
Friends
Out
Most of the stuff I do on the show comes out of me just trying to make my friends laugh.
- Adam Sandler
Van
Else
This is the point in the show where we say, 'Oh, what else do we have in the van that's flammable?'
- Adam Savage
Feel
Getting
Like, on the 'Parks And Rec' set, I still feel like I'm a guest star. Being a fan of the show, it's really surreal to be on the set and see that it's not real, and getting to know the actors and they're not their characters.
- Adam Scott
I Think
Very
I think when you're on a network show, it's crazy how different it is... just being on a network show that reaches that many people. It's not like I'm very famous, but seemingly overnight, I would get recognized more, and it was really weird.
- Adam Scott
Couple
Out
I'm scared of audiences. One show in Amsterdam I was so nervous, I escaped out the fire exit. I've thrown up a couple of times. Once in Brussels, I projectile vomited on someone. I just gotta bear it. But I don't like touring. I have anxiety attacks a lot.
- Adele
Love
Biggest Dream
My biggest dream and my biggest accomplishment was to be on HBO and 'True Detective.' It was a show that I just fell in love with.
- Adria Arjona
Old
Realised
It's definitely time to stop. We're getting too old. We both realised that the show wasn't as engaging as it used to be. We were starting to look a bit ridiculous.
- Adrian Edmondson
Want
Environmentalism
I want to show people that environmentalism can be fun!
- Adrian Grenier
Love
Amazing
My favorite designer is Christian Lacroix, not just because his clothes are amazing and I love them, but because he's so nice. When I did his fashion show, he was the first one to arrive there and he helped everyone.
- Adriana Lima
Top
Had
I was in a fashion show and I had on a strapless top. When I got to the end the top was down.
- Adriana Lima
I Think
Predominant
'Pretty Little Liars,' you know, it's a teen show that grew to be something bigger. I think you had girls from ages 7 to, like, 20 watching the show, and that was the predominant audience. Then it grew to be for girls, boys, men, women, people who are 7 to 35. I think that's crazy.
- Aeriel Miranda
Outside
Poor
Outside show is a poor substitute for inner worth.
- Aesop
Wake Up
Wake
Every morning when I wake up, I listen to 'The Brian Lehrer Show' on WNYC.
- Aidy Bryant
Religious
Through
I was a religious 'SNL' watcher all through middle school. I was obsessed with Molly Shannon, Ana Gasteyer, Cheri Oteri - they were on right when I found the show. Then I started watching the older episodes, and it just totally blew my mind that my dream show already existed.
- Aidy Bryant
More
Will
In the future, the best retail sites will know you much better and show you things that are much more relevant.
- Aileen Lee
Individual
Allow
It's society that disables an individual by not investing in enough creativity to allow for someone to show us the quality that makes them rare and valuable and capable.
- Aimee Mullins
Cool
Kid
My parents were vegetarians. I'd show up at school, this giant black kid, with none of the cool clothes and a tofu sandwich and celery sticks.
- Aisha Tyler
Fair
Big
People challenge my nerd cred all the time. I just show them the photo of me winning my middle-school science fair, wearing my Casio calculator watch and eyeglasses so big they look like they can see the future.
- Aisha Tyler
Love
Woman
When I was younger, it was harder for me to find a black eyeliner that would actually show up on my skin. Being a dark-skinned woman, when you find something that actually shows up on your face, you love it even more.
- Aja Naomi King
Go
Gotta
Hey, you know what, I've gotta go on that 'Letterman' show. That show is so lame.
- Al Gore
Mind
Give
I say what's on my mind and have a good time. I try to give people a show. It's all about giving people a good time once you get out under those lights.
- Al Jarreau
Flight
Dave
I have this image in my head of me in the house I grew up in, and hearing this incredible music on the television show, going over to it, and there's Jon Hendricks, Dave Lambert, and Annie Ross. It knocked me out of my socks, and I'm still in flight.
- Al Jarreau
Week
Saturday
I try to get in two runs during the week, after the 'Today' show, probably around 1 or 2 o'clock, Tuesday, Thursday. Then Saturday or Sunday, I do my longer runs and try to do it in the morning.
- Al Roker
Life
Decent
I'm not sure if I've learned anything from show business. Life in general has taught me if you're kind to people, everything gets easier. Being a decent person really smoothes the way for you and everyone else.
- Alan Arkin
Through
False
I am so spoiled. I cannot watch a show where it gets interrupted for ads. I have to TiVo it and skip through the ads, because the culture of advertising is so false and phony that I just... ugh, you know?
- Alan Ball
Drama
Year
In my first year at drama school, I did this kids' show called 'Let's See.'
- Alan Cumming
Right
Talk Show Host
You're absolutely right: Bob Grant is a racist, Bob Grant is a bigot, he's a despicable talk show host and I agree with that.
- Alan Dershowitz
Anthropology
Minor
In my introductory course, Anthropology 160, the Forms of Folklore, I try to show the students what the major and minor genres of folklore are, and how they can be analyzed.
- Alan Dundes
Want
Kid
Right when I started in show... Milton Berle was my first idol. When I was a kid, I went to see Milton at Lowe's State, and I never laughed so much, and I said, 'That's who I want to be; that's what I want to be.'
- Alan King
Grateful
Words
I'm no good with words but I'll find ways from time to time to show you how grateful I am.
- Alan Ladd
Track
What I have to show, I show on the track.
- Alan Oliveira
Oh My God
Kremlin
In Russia we had to have special visas in our passports, and when we had to show our passports at the Kremlin gates, we realized that, Oh my God, we're actually playing in THE Kremlin!
- Alan Parsons
Want
About
I know, if I am playing well, I can be as good as anyone, and I want to show people who write you off and forget about you.
- Alan Smith
Fiction
Some
It shouldn't be so difficult to determine what a planet is. When you're watching a science fiction show like 'Star Trek' and they show up at some object in space and turn on the viewfinder, the audience and the people in the show know immediately whether it's a planet or a star or a comet or an asteroid.
- Alan Stern
Breaks
Raising
My two boys were the same ages as the kids in the show. In real life or in between the breaks I was raising two kids off camera who were not unlike the two kids who were being paid to be my kids.
- Alan Thicke
About
Had
We got kind of into a rhythm at 'Parks' because there were so many characters that we had an A story, a B story, and a C story just about every episode. So by the middle of that show's run, we always had three stories, and it worked really well.
- Alan Yang
Endurance
Very
I respect the hell out of everyone who does a network show. That is a marathon. It's so many episodes, and it can be a meat grinder. Anyone making a network show, and on top of that making a very good network show, that's an insane feat of Herculean endurance and fortitude.
- Alan Yang
Challenges
Biggest
One of the biggest challenges of writing for middle-grade or even young-adult readers is that I don't want to have too much violence in it - which really limits what you can do. It's important that they're not just bloodbaths or glorifying violence. I always try to show that a person who dies leaves a hole. There's grief in my books.
- Alane Ferguson
Planned
Minus
I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot.
- Albert Brooks
Brothers
Kid
When I was a little kid, my parents would show me Marx Brothers' films and westerns and stuff like that. That's where all my desire to be an actor comes from and probably most of my understanding of acting comes from for sure.
- Alden Ehrenreich
Love
Superhero
These superhero movies are starting to give more love to not only black characters but also to more female characters, which is necessary because you have boys and girls of all colors who are looking at these superheroes saying, 'I want to be that. I want to look like that. Show me somebody that I can automatically connect with.'
- Aldis Hodge
Creative People
Other
I started out as an actor, where you seek to understand yourself using the words of great writers and collaborating with other creative people. Then I slid into show business, where you seek only an audience's approval whether you deserve it or not.
- Alec Baldwin
Television
Precise
On a television show, precise acting isn't the order of the day.
- Alec Baldwin
Work
Business
Am I a homophobe? Look, I work in show business. I am awash in gay people, as colleagues and as friends.
- Alec Baldwin
Interesting
Code
You can't just watch people type all day, and you can't really show screenshots of code and make it interesting in any way.
- Alec Berg
Against
Consequence
We try to show that violence has a consequence - when you create violence, it turns against you.
- Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
Classical
Our
Our first show, 'A Little Nightmare Music,' encompasses a lot of zany humor with beautiful classical music.
- Aleksey Igudesman
Perfect
I Think
And my daughter really likes Justin Bieber, so I think she'll have fun watching him. But I think Rihanna is the perfect match for the Victoria's Secret show because she's really beautiful, she's really sexy, and she's really talented.
- Alessandra Ambrosio
Dress
Means
Luxury means that you show the way you dress with eccentricity.
- Alessandro Michele
Natural
Curly
I keep my hair curly and natural because I really just wanna show who I am.
- Alessia Cara
Love
Other
I love experimenting with clothes for photo shoots, but when I'm onstage, I want to show people that there are other options. You can just be yourself and still make good music.
- Alessia Cara
Up
Always
It's always nice when the eccentrics show up.
- Alex Cox
Your
Out
When we were working on 'Taxi to the Dark Side,' we would purposefully not show it to certain people in the cutting room, because we would include a lot of horrible material and would need a fresh pespective. They would look at us and say, 'Are you out of your minds? You can't include that!'
- Alex Gibney
About
Works
I'm not sure why, but I seem to be drawn to stories about abuses of power. But I'm also drawn, not so much to victims' stories, as stories that tend to show how power works. Because if you don't understand the criminals, you can't figure out how to stop the crimes.
- Alex Gibney
Game
Down
You pull anyone from an alien planet down to Earth, and you want to show them great work, show them Tywin Lannister on 'Game of Thrones.' I mean, it's just as good as it gets.
- Alex Graves
Game
Before
'Game of Thrones' is the broadest of narratives. I don't know if anyone in the U.S. has done a story on such a large scale before, both in terms of what George R.R. Martin wrote and what's on the show.
- Alex Graves
Goal
May
My goal is to show girls that I'm fighting so they don't have to, so they don't have to fight the same battles, so they don't have to fight for wage equality or whatever it may be.
- Alex Morgan
Doing
Young
In Chicago, anything that you're doing, the community gives it value. Every little improv show, every scrappy reading, and every lead on a Goodman mainstage. It's all a promising opportunity for a young actor.
- Alex Weisman
Teach
Another
Teach me to feel another's woe, to hide the fault I see, that mercy I to others show, that mercy show to me.
- Alexander Pope
Okay
Industry
The industry's changed so much that you can't just design something, put on a great show, and say, 'Okay, my job is done.'
- Alexander Wang
Week
Buyers
I don't think fashion week will go back to what it used to be because people are realising that the industry is completely changing. It's not just in Bryant Park any more, people are figuring out who their audience is, where they want to show, they aren't really playing by the rules. It's not so much about these editors, these buyers.
- Alexander Wang
Obsessed
I'm obsessed with this show called 'Workaholics.'
- Alexandra Daddario
